We have cluster of 3 Nodes for Metadata, 4 Mid Tier nodes and a single compute tier. During the SDW configuration, we provided the nfs location for Metadata backups and that is working fine. We also provided the BackupVault location during the Mid_tier installation as required by SDW and gave the physical path. SDW creates a folder under Lev1 called "Backup" and it keeps all the script and other files there. But in my installation, I cant find this Lev1/Backup folder at all in any of the servers. BackupVault folder is there but it is blank. I can see the Component under Configuration Manager plugin in SMC and it also shows the<STRONG> Lev1/Backup</STRONG> folder location set for&nbsp;<STRONG>svrbakupevm.app.home</STRONG> variable. I dont know whats happening here. Can someone help me? I need to configure and start the backup asap.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Regards,</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Shatrughan</P> Thu, 14 Jan 2016 07:06:30 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Issue-with-SAS-9-4-M3-Deployment-Backup-and-Recovery-Tool-9-4/m-p/243414#M3894 shatrughan 2016-01-14T07:06:30Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Issue-with-SAS-9-4-M3-Deployment-Backup-and-Recovery-Tool-9-4/m-p/243910#M3919 <P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>First, an intro would be a good idea, the Backup and Recovery tool requires:</P><P>1. to have deployed your SAS Deployment Agent in all your SAS hosts/nodes, since the Agents are responsible to "execute remote code"&nbsp;</P><P>2.
